OUR
HISTORY
Established in 1952, Bird Machines specialised in the design and development of equipment for the agricultural industry in South Africa. To date, many of our designs are still in use in the agricultural sector.
The first mining machines developed in 1988, designed for the application of limestone dust to the roof, walls, and floors of underground collieries, have since inception, become an industry standard. This enabled us to expand and shift our focus and efforts to mining machinery.
FUTURE
FOCUSED
Bird Machines is continuously busy to expand our Product Range based on customer requirements and opportunities to improve safety and efficiency in underground operations. In addition, the relationship with Bird Machines shareholder Temeng Engineering and Fabrication (Pty) Ltd, a 100% black-owned business specialising in field service, maintenance support, and equipment rental to various mining groups, have enabled both companies to benefit from this synergistic relationship to provide a wider service to more customers.
